She walks with Lizard Medicine, the wisdom she carries from
her life-long totem the lizard. The lizard has taught her to trust in her
dreams and in her intuition, for she alone has the best answers for the life
she lives. The lizard has also taught her to watch over and protect her highest
good. She now understands and can recognize when something no longer serves her
and with that she has learned how to let those things go with grace and moves
on. She knows that she needs to tend to her own needs first, before she can
help anyone else. She is the Lizard Keeper.
This painting, “The Lizard Keeper”, is a contemporary folk
art painting by Jeanne Fry. It was created with acrylics on a 12 inch x 12 inch
canvas. The background is layered with primitive spirals done in yellow ochre,
titanium white, and burnt orange with hints of turquoise under the layers. The
head and shoulders of the native woman can be seen amidst the spirals, her face
raised slightly towards the sun and it’s brilliant rays. She wears two feathers
in her hair and a bone choker around her neck. Her lizard totem is painted
embraced around the side and top of her head. A spiral sun is painted on the
lizard.
